you mentioned money allocated for the purchase of 3 buses for the school system. This should have be a good idea from our town planners...since they sold away the fields that our kids play on--the buses could be used to take our kids to all the away games they must play. However, they forgot to higher drivers..imagine that..thousands spent on buses and no one to drive them...there they are just sitting there, depreciating in value--and what's happening...our kids are being bused in non-town buses (vendor buses) at an increased expense. I guess none of the mayor's buddies want a job as a lowly bus driver. So, whose supposed to hire the bus drivers? Maybe he's too busy fielding calls from his harrison ave legal office while he should be taking care of matters while he's on the clock in his comfy desk at the Harrison Bd of Ed office.

It's like you or me getting a cash advance on our credit card to pay off another credit card. But hey, we're getting a new soccer stadium in town and we only had to borrow FORTY MILLION DOLLARS MORE.
